Healthcare industry patents rank first globally Ping An Good Doctor leads the "Human + Machine + Ecosystem" closed loop
Recently, the National Intellectual Property Publishing House released the "2025 White Paper on Patent Analysis in the Healthcare Industry." Ping An Insurance Group of China, with its continuous innovation output, topped the global patent holders list with a cumulative total of 5,704 patents in the healthcare field and maintained a leading position in multiple core technologies and application scenarios. The white paper noted that in the healthcare sector, the feature of technology-driven business innovation is particularly prominent, and Ping An has transformed a significant number of patent achievements into practical applications with industry influence.
Top 10 Global Patent Holders in the Healthcare Industry
Notably, in the three key sub-scenarios of medical image processing, elderly care, and intelligent diagnosis, Ping An ranked first globally in patent volume. This not only confirms Ping An's long-term investment in cutting-edge medical technology but also solidifies an unbreakable technological moat for its healthcare ecosystem's business innovation.
As the flagship of Ping An Group's healthcare and elderly care ecosystem, Ping An Good Doctor (stock abbreviation: "Ping An Good Doctor") continues to build a new high ground for "AI + healthcare." Its products, such as the multimodal medical large model "Ping An Yibotong" and the doctor workstation "Ping An Yijiaren," have become AI benchmarks in the internet healthcare field. Through the "Human + Machine + Ecosystem" closed-loop model, Ping An Good Doctor effectively translates patent advantages into business innovation, driving deep integration of AI technology with healthcare scenarios and leading the development of AI healthcare innovation.
Accelerated Transformation of Patent Achievements, Building an AI Healthcare Product Matrix
On February 5, the National Healthcare Security Administration issued the "Notice on Accelerating Scenario Cultivation and Openness in the Healthcare Security Field to Support Large-Scale Application of New Scenarios," explicitly urging provincial healthcare security departments to actively utilize AI image recognition in healthcare cloud and multimodal AI-assisted diagnosis by disease type, among other technologies, to create scenario incubation platforms in the healthcare security field. This provides strong institutional support for the multi-scenario, large-scale implementation of AI in healthcare.
For a long time, Ping An Good Doctor has regarded AI as a key driver for service upgrades, continuously deepening the R&D and application of medical AI technology. In 2025, Ping An Good Doctor launched the first full-scenario, full-cycle, full-ecosystem "7+N+1" AI healthcare product matrix, including digital avatars of renowned doctors, AI family doctors, AI elderly care managers, AI medical rooms, and AI health managers, among others. In July of the same year, two AI products, "Digital Avatar of Renowned Doctors" and "AI Family Doctor," were selected as exemplary cases in the first batch of "Open-Source Large Model +" software innovation applications by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, receiving national-level authoritative recognition.
The "Digital Avatar of Renowned Doctors" has established a 24/7 online medical support circle and a doctor empowerment system, while the "AI Family Doctor" provides users with an integrated online-offline closed-loop service, aiming to systematically address healthcare challenges. For doctors, the AI system serves as an efficient auxiliary tool, assisting with repetitive tasks such as triage and condition analysis, allowing doctors to focus more on core diagnostic decisions. For patients, AI technology offers precise triage, health management, and other services, making healthcare experiences more convenient and efficient.
Building a "Human + Machine + Ecosystem" Closed Loop, Leading Industry Intelligent Upgrades
Beyond accelerating patent transformation to drive continuous product and service upgrades, Ping An Good Doctor has built a globally leading medical database. Leveraging its self-developed "Ping An Yibotong" large model, it continues to enrich the application of AI in healthcare, wellness, and elderly care scenarios, further constructing the "Human + Machine + Ecosystem" closed loop. This loop aims to center on users, connecting doctors, patients, and medical institutions through AI technology to build a data-driven, collaborative, and efficient smart healthcare ecosystem.
Under this efficient collaborative mechanism, Ping An Good Doctor has further enhanced AI's empowerment of business scenarios across the entire healthcare process. Currently, the accuracy rate of AI-assisted consultation and diagnosis by Ping An Good Doctor reaches 98%, and the accuracy rate of complex disease MDT (multidisciplinary team) treatment plans is nearly 90%. The company's AI doctors have served over 10 million people, with daily consultations exceeding 300,000. As AI healthcare enters a new phase of deep integration with social governance, Ping An Good Doctor's practices not only demonstrate an innovative path from "patent leadership" to "scenario rooting" but also point to a path of universal healthcare that bridges resource gaps with technological warmth. The "Human + Machine + Ecosystem" closed loop is expected to steer healthcare services back to their essence of being "human-centered," making cutting-edge technology an accessible health guardian for all and injecting sustainable technological momentum into the "Healthy China" initiative.
